The 'dog' bus...

This morning, we got up at 7am and headed quietly down the stairs, so we didn't wake Lili up. I got you a bowl of cereal and a glass of milk and you ate while I got the rest of things ready for you for school. We got dressed, went to the bathroom, put your shoes on, brushed your hair and put on your backpack...then, at 7:30am, it was time to head out the door to wait on the bus to come.

It's a bit chilly outside at 7:30am, at least when the high is only going to be in the mid-70s...but I assured you that it would be warming up, so you would be fine.


We patiently waited and waited and waited for the bus...


Then, at 7:35am, we saw it coming down the road...


So we walked down the sidewalk to the end of our driveway, looked both ways for cars, crossed the road and waited for the bus to come to a stop in front of us.


I gave you a kiss and told you to have a good day and then you climbed on the bus, so grown up, without even looking back. You've gotten to be such a big girl.
